Meanwhile, that useless waste of space, Chancellor Philip Hammond, suggests the police somehow find the extra money to tackle knife crime by making cut backs in other parts of their own budgets!!

I often wonder if this idiot lives on the same planet as us mere mortals. But of course he is a minister he is protected by all manner of police and personal body guards. So he really is out of touch with reality.

May I suggest he spend a few days in a notorious Birmingham district, or the city centre itself on a Friday or Saturday night, completely unprotected, and see how he gets on then!

The government is awash with cash, otherwise it would not be so liberal throwing billions at white elephants such as HS2
